Chapter 9: The Aggressive Lu Zushang
Ancestor worship is the top priority in the world, at least in this evil feudal society. So generally speaking, when worshiping ancestors, the environment will be very serious and the number of people will be very large.
However, although the environment in Lu Mansion's ancestor worship activities is still very serious, the number of people is not very large.
There is no way to do this. Now Li Xiaogong and Li Jing are confronting Fu Gongyou in Jiangnan. In this time of chaos, even the Lu family, the Lu family of the Lu family, the Lu family, would not gather in Jiangzhou on a large scale to worship their ancestors, let alone the Qingyuan Hall of the Lu family's Shuzong.
Of course, this is just a saying. The Lu family in all directions cannot really come to Jiangzhou to worship their ancestors. You said that even the ancestral hall left the Lu family in Fanyang, what kind of face does it have to say that it is a famous family for thousands of years?
In fact, let alone the ancestral hall of the Lu family, the four-bedroom Lu family leader Lu family, even the ancestral hall of the Shuzong Qingyuan Hall was actually in Fanyang. Of course, because Lu Hao had a very unpleasant relationship with the Zong family at that time, Qingyuan Hall now has nothing in Fanyang's ancestral hall. The genealogy and the portrait of the ancestors of Qingyuan Hall were taken away by Lu Hao.
Of course, not long after Lu Hao came to Jiangzhou, he encountered the chaos in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty. So when it was the Lu family's grand ceremony, Lu Hao could not return to Fanyang to worship his ancestors with his family tree and portraits of his ancestors.
As a result, this so-called Qingyuan Hall grand ceremony actually counted, and there were only four people.
Lumencen, monk Lu Chengzu of Wukong, and Wukong's little niece Lu Jing. Of course, Lu Zushang, the current general manager of Jiangzhou.
This can also tell why Lu Chengde dared to deal with his younger brother unscrupulously, because in Jiangzhou, there was no one in the Lu family, even the Zong family of the Lu family could not be found.
It can be seen that once bad people are out of constraints, they will often go to the path of self-destruction. So how can that be said? Only bad people locked up are good and bad people.
Because the hall name of Qingyuan Hall is still in the hands of Lu Hao, although Lu Zushang's current official position is much larger than that of Wukong and Cen Daoyun, when worshiping ancestors, he could only stand steadily behind Cen Daoyun's sister-in-law according to the rules.
Of course, he was not the last one. The one who stood at the end was Wukong, a traitor who abandoned his ancestors and became a monk. This was in Jiangzhou, there were too few people in the Lu family. If it were in Fanyang, I am afraid that Wukong, a traitor from the Lu family, could stand in the distance and look at the gate of the ancestral hall.
If you want to come in and take a look, you will definitely break your left leg when you come in and break your right leg when you come in and break your right leg when you come in and do it!
Because there are too few people, all things like ceremonies are omitted. After all, Cen Daoyun and Lu Zushang are clear about this process of worshiping ancestors, and there is no problem in doing it at once. Although Wukong cannot explain this process clearly, there is no problem in following Lu Zushang's actions to confuse things.
And even if he really did something wrong, it didn't matter, because Cen Daoyun and Lu Zushang were both in front of him. If they didn't have eyes on the back of their heads, it would be impossible to see his mistakes.
Besides, Lu Zushang originally asked Wukong to worship the ancestors in the early stage to make up for his own numbers. As mentioned earlier, Wukong, a family traitor who was born in the ancestors, shaved his head and became a monk, and could let him stand far away and look at the Lu family's ancestral hall, which was considered taking care of him.
As for whether there would be any mistakes during the ancestor worship, it didn't matter, so when he felt something idle, Wukong began to touch the ancestral hall boredly.
Although this ancestral hall was built when Lu Hao came to serve as the governor of Jiangzhou, because the genealogy of Qingyuan Hall and the portrait of the ancestors of the Lu family Shuzong were in the hands of Lu Hao, in order to worship these things, it cost a lot of money to build this ancestral hall back then.
"Hey, is it really strange?" Wukong's eyes swept from the golden pillars of the ancestral hall to the golden sacrificial vessel. "It's actually preserved here so well. The soldiers and spies under Mou Zhou Shaode didn't come to harm him a few days ago. Alas, if I had known this was the case, I would rather harm him myself and then give it to her..."
"Little Langjun, Xiao Langjun?" Cen Daoyun's cold voice came to Wukong's ears, "It's your turn to burn incense..."
"Oh!" Wukong quickly took a stick of incense from Cen Daoyun's hand, then lit it on the candle next to him, and saluted respectfully, and was about to penetrate the incense burner in front of the portrait in the middle of the ancestral hall.
"Little Langjun..." Cen Daoyun's voice came over again, "That is a portrait of Lu Zhi's ancestor. Xiao Langjun needs to burn incense to Lu Fu's ancestor."
"Oh!" Wukong was holding the lit incense in his hand and began to continue touching. Where is the portrait of Lu Fu?
"Little Langjun, the portrait of ancestor Lu Fu is on your left."
"Oh!" Wukong turned to the left, and then tributed the incense in front of a very rich portrait.
Although various problems arose during the entire process of ancestor worship, Wukong still stumblingly completed the procedure of ancestor worship after returning to the hall of Lu Mansion, Cen Daoyun raised her hand and called the little beauty with a pointed chin, and took away the little guy who had to rely on Wukong, and then the remaining three people began to sit in the host and host.
After sitting down, Wukong tilted his head slightly and looked at the unlucky guy who had left his name in history in front of him.
Lu Zushang's figure is not tall. According to the standards of 1,500 years later, it is estimated that he should be about 1.7 meters. Even according to the standards of the Tang Dynasty, he can be said to be a strong man with an height of 8 feet. Although his face cannot be said to be ferocious, he cannot be said to be handsome. How can I say it? It should be said that he is a face that you can tell at a glance that it is very difficult to mess with.
Wukong did not have any contempt for this one of the best unlucky guys in history.
You know, although Lu Zushang was unlucky and hit Li Shimin's gun and was knocked off, in this heroic era when many heroes were born, Lu Zushang could be regarded as both talented and civil and military by most of the Sui and Tang dynasties. The integrity and integrity are enough to show his excellence.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lu Zushang's classmate was unlucky because he married a wife who didn't want him to leave Chang'an. Or, he was unlucky because he was unlucky because he was a big man and obeyed his wife's will. He originally agreed to Li Shimin as a governor of Jiaozhou, but his wife disagreed and then repented.
But would Li Shimin not punish Lu Zushang because he was a wife? This was obviously impossible, so Lu Zushang moved unfairly.
This tells us that being a wife is very risky. If you are not sure that your wife is better than Fang Xuanling's wife, it is better to take your brain back from your wife's head honestly!
"Madam, I don't know what the eldest lady is thinking about what I said last time?" After Lu Zushang sat down, he immediately asked straight to the point, "I don't need to say more about Qingyuan Hall to my Shuzong Lu family. But obviously you can no longer support the hope of the entire Lu family Shuzong, so please ask the eldest lady to hand over the Qingyuan Hall genealogy to me."
Cen Daoyun raised her head, glanced at Lu Zushang with her eyes, and then lowered her face. "My husband has not passed away yet." Shanglangjun was right in front of her, Sanlang, is it wrong for you to ask such a thing?"
"Madam, this is not a person who takes advantage of others' danger. If Brother Chengde has not committed any crime, or if Brother Chengzu has not become a monk, he will never make such a request." Lu Zushang knelt on the ground and continued in a deep voice, "But this is the case now. Even if Brother Chengde is not dead yet, he may not be able to take charge of Qingyuan Hall after he comes back."
"As for the younger brother Chengzu, since he is determined to be in the Buddhist sect, we can only follow him. However, the Qingyuan Hall created by our ancestor Gong Lu Fu cannot die in the hands of our descendants, otherwise, what kind of face do you want us to see the people of the Lu clan family in the future?"
"Do you think so?" Lu Zushang said to Cen Daoyun in an aggressive tone, "Master?"
"In fact, Qingyuan Hall is not a unique thing in our Shuzong family." Before Cen Daoyun could speak, Wukong sat aside and had no sense of existence in Lu Zushang's eyes. "And now Brother Chengde is fleeing for Mingfeng Liang Kingdom, and he can no longer handle the affairs of Qingyuan Hall. It is reasonable to replace people at this time."
Wukong ignored it and looked up at Cen Daoyun with confusion. "So I personally fully support Brother Zu Shang, you take over my Qingyuan Hall."
"That's good!" Lu Zushang also pretended not to see Cen Daoyun's expression, but climbed up along Wukong's pole, "You are really generous, then we'll make up that way."
"Of course I've decided. No matter what, we can't write the word "Lu" in one stroke! However, there is a little problem now." Wukong looked embarrassed, "I think Brother Zu Shang, you should know that my sister-in-law has never been very willing to become a monk..."
"Yeah, I know this." Lu Zushang nodded without hesitation.
As a result, this sentence choked Wukong back to the following words. Wukong originally planned to explain to Lu Zushang carefully Cen Daoyun's attitude towards monks and Taoists, but unexpectedly, Lu Zushang, who had just arrived in Jiangzhou for a few months, already knew it.
What should I say? The eldest lady of the Lu family can’t stand the monk and Taoist priest, and everyone in Jiangzhou knows it?
Sister-in-law, you are really too majestic!
Wukong's eyes swept across Cen Daoyun's face, "But my master Daoxin said that I was born with the wisdom of the past, and that I was born with Buddhism, and I could be enlightened before I could be weak and see my own nature..."
"Is that true?" Lu Zushang straightened his body in surprise and said seriously, "I really don't know. Brother Chengzu, you are a person with great wisdom in your previous life. You are really disrespectful to me."
"I dare not, I don't know if there is a younger brother Su Hui." Wukong replied shamelessly, "After all, I have not awakened anything like past and future lives, so I made an agreement with my sister-in-law. If I can be enlightened before I was eighteen years old, then Qingyuantang will choose the best among my children in the Shu Sect and hand it over..."
"What if you can't be enlightened?" Lu Zushang continued, "Do you still plan to return to secular life, brother Chengzu?"
"Brother Zu Shang, you are so smart." Wukong smiled and said, "I have learned to answer quickly! That's right, if I can't be enlightened before the age of 18, I must return to the secular world and inherit Qingyuantang according to my sister-in-law's meaning. This is a small question that Xiaodizhou mentioned. So what do you think you should do now, Brother Zu Shang?
